Yeah, and it's also nonsense as far as I can tell. Here's what the man
page for Network Manager actually says:

dns
        Set the DNS processing mode.

        none: NetworkManager will not modify resolv.conf. This implies
        rc-manager unmanaged


rc-manager
        Set the resolv.conf management mode. This option is about how
        NetworkManager writes to /etc/resolv.conf, if at all.


        If you configure dns=none or make /etc/resolv.conf immutable
        with chattr +i, NetworkManager will ignore this setting and
        always choose unmanaged (below).


        symlink: If /etc/resolv.conf is a regular file or does not
        exist, NetworkManager will write the file directly.

        file: NetworkManager will write /etc/resolv.conf as regular
        file.

        unmanaged: don't touch /etc/resolv.conf.
